Montgomery, Alabama – Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie recently joined her daughter, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, at a Mother-Daughter Brunch in Montgomery, Alabama, where Zahara delivered a keynote speech on the issue of period poverty. The event, organized by Women in Training Inc., aimed to raise awareness and support for young girls and women who lack access to menstrual hygiene products.
Zahara, a college student and advocate for social justice, passionately addressed the audience about the struggles many girls face in accessing basic sanitary supplies. “Menstrual products are not a luxury; they are a necessity. No girl should have to miss school or feel ashamed simply because she doesn’t have what she needs,” she said.
Angelina Jolie, known for her humanitarian work, praised her daughter’s commitment to the cause and emphasized the need for policy changes to address period poverty globally. “This is an issue that affects millions of girls worldwide, including here in the United States and across Africa. It’s time for governments, businesses, and communities to come together to provide sustainable solutions,” she stated.
Women in Training Inc. provides free menstrual products to underprivileged girls and has been advocating for legislative changes to make period supplies tax-free and more accessible. The event concluded with a call for donations and further advocacy efforts to ensure menstrual equity for all.
The mother-daughter duo’s involvement has drawn significant media attention, helping to amplify the conversation on menstrual health and gender equality.
